Shift water rule

IN their evidence to the Silk Commission, the Labour in Wales Welsh Government wanted to see the National Assembly gain full control over all matters relating to Welsh water, yet in the final stages debate on the Water Bill last week, on Plaid Cymru’s amendment, every single Labour MP from Wales failed to turn up. Whether we are talking about energy, water or devolving Air Passenger Duty to Wales, the First Minister says one thing in Cardiff while Labour’s London based-MPs say something different.

Water is one aspect of our nation’s wealth of natural resources that our people are unable to benefit from its use due to the UK Government holding the power of veto over all matters relating to Welsh water. Control over our water needs to be transferred from Westminster to the National Assembly, so any wealth generated from its extraction, exploitation and export benefits our nation.

Labour, in Westminster or Wales, is only interested in conforming to the cosy Westminster consensus instead of putting the interests of the Welsh economy and people first.

Water is one aspect of our nation’s wealth of natural resources, which is why the national government in Westminster is in control. For clueless Welsh nationalists rivers and watersheds do not conform to arbitrary regional boundaries.

Been advocating the Assembly 'nationalise' welsh water for years, not least because we are paying more for our own water than England is. It is virtually the only natural resource we have left. Make England pay for our water.

Thinking heads you have fallen for the nationalist fantasy. Anywhere you use the word "Wales" you can substitute "UK". There is no perfect geographical area that is "just the right size" for everything. There is however a compelling geographical reason why you are wrong and it is this: Great Britain is AN ISLAND. Water resources don't adhere to arbitrary lines on a map, they flow across your imaginary all-important frontier as if it wasn't there. You have been reading too much Cordell sir.

Oil fields, shale gas and other resources don't respect national boundaries either but they are still resources.

Anyone from across the border muttering about how Wales spends it's money and how much of that is subsidised ( whether indirect through the EU or not ) would be brought up short if they knew how many English towns and cities depended upon Welsh water.

That's true. In fact Welsh water supply part of England, principally Hereford, for that very reason, that water catchments do not follow national boundaries. Similarly, part of mid-Wales is supplied by an English company who deal with the River Severn catchment.

I can't understand why anyone would want to drag water supply and sewers back into politics. The current with most of Wales is served by a not -for -profit company seems to work OK. There are far more pressing problems such as health and education which need attention.

Mexico is a separate sovereign country from the US. Wales isn't separate from the UK. Mexico isn't receiving £10b pa from the US to prop it up either as Wales does. So you're hardly comparing like situations.

Thinking Heads may be making a valid point, but since they don't appear to be wearing their "Communnicate clearly" head I can't be sure.

Resources such as water don't conform to political boundaries, but rather geographiccal ones. As such, it is impossible to describe it in terms of ownership - "our" water or "their" water.

You may as well charge England for using "our" air every time the wind blows from the West.

No proof at all it was you that suggested it. '£10b could easily be made up ....' Errr, by 3 million people of which well under half pay any tax at all let alone are positive contributors. And if you increase taxes on those net contributors why would they choose not to hop a few miles to England to live?And then what? It's why no-one with a grasp of economics even mentions independence any more. The prospect of a banana republic just isn't appealing to anyone. (Except you it seems).

Pwlldu, I can't understand the point you're making. But to make my point clear the household average figures for the 10 large regional operators are, for households, this year, for water and sewerage combined :-

So services are cheaper in Wales than 3 English regions and the same as another English region.

"Wales become richer, if england lets us"

At present, Wales will only become richer if England increases the amount of subsidy that currently flows across the border. With councils and MP seats permanently occupied by Labour and Plaid candidates the chances of the Welsh economy improving enough to ever be self-supporting is nothing but an unrealisable dream.

How can it be 'well within your grasp' and 'a long term dream'? Surely those two phrases are contradictory. Plaid Cymru's whole philosophy is based on an illusion. Brand Wales. A marketing ploy aimed at the gullible. So backward and parochial is their thinking that they even floated the idea of guaranteeing medical school recruitment to 1000 Welsh speaking students this week. I'm sure the guy who died waiting for an ambulance recently or those who never lived to reach the top of the cardiac waiting lists would have been thrilled to know that they could have been spoken to in Welsh just before they expired.

The 'country' is the UK, not Wales. It was part of Britain during the 'British Empire' so was part of the ruler rather than one of the ruled. Cornwall has it's own language apparently but if that were the criteria for self-rule then surely around 20% of the land area known as Wales would be independent and that wouldn't include Cardiff.

Dear God. The Irish border issue is a modern aberration (1920). There is no Welsh border that anyone would be able to identify. Should Monmouthshire be lumped in with the likes of Ceredigion? Definitely not.

The English / Welsh border was established the day the English looked across the land to the west and called it Wales land of the foreigner. During that time Monmouthshire was a no mans land where Welsh tribes fought English Saxon tribes. It was claimed by the Welsh side and now is part of Wales. Once upon a time English counties spoke a sort of Welsh before the Romans, Saxons and Normans invaded England.

Before William of Orange parachuted the Protestant faith from Scotland, Ireland had no borders. It was an island made up of various tribes.
The historic county of Monmouthshire was formed from the Welsh Marches by the Laws in Wales Act 1535, bordering Gloucestershire to the east, Herefordshire to the northeast, Brecknockshire to the north, and Glamorgan to the west. The second Laws in Wales Act of 1542 enumerated the counties of Wales and omitted Monmouthshire – This led to ambiguity as to whether the county was part of Wales or England. Since local government changes in April 1974 the area has been placed definitively in Wales.
